Please act now to protect New York’s threatened wetlands. 

Ask your New York State Senator to reach out to Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno to schedule the Wetlands Protection Act for a vote.

Wetlands are a vital resource that maintain clean drinking water, prevent flooding, and provide critical habitat for ducks, fish, and other wildlife.  

However, rollbacks in federal protection and the weakest state law in the Northeast have left many of New York’s wetlands entirely unprotected. The Wetlands Protection Act, S.3835, would protect New York’s wetlands by reducing the size threshold for state jurisdiction from 12.4 acres to one acre.

Please act now. Reach out your State Senator to ask Senate Majority Leader Bruno to schedule S.3835 for a vote.
